Dear Veni,

i believe the Divine Mother within has revealed far more about the
spirit than anything available from Her incarnation Shri Mataji. That
She did so on Her own account to narrate about the spirit to Arwinder
only underscores the importance of this subject. Over the years i
have known the Divine Mother to be frugal with words and rarely
gives enlightenment on Her own ............. though She will answer
almost any question posed to Her in the Sahasrara. So Her priceless
enlightenment about the spirit should be treasured forever:

"I) i asked him if you can cross and pass one hand through the other
or for example across the neck. He replied that you can, and even
pass through fellow spirit beings or any obstacle for the matter.

ii) so if you can cross the hands and pass them through each other
how was it possible to sit on Shri Durga's tiger? Arwinder replied
that the spirit can assume any form to do any task. If the intention
of your spirit is to sit on a tiger you will—the spirit just does
that effortlessly.

iii) is it possible to feel one's heartbeat? In the first place, does
one have a heart? Arwinder said a spirit has no heart or any internal
organ for the matter.

iv) can the spirit assume any form? Arwinder confirmed that it can.
The spirit can experience anything it desires - an insect, tree,
animal, human being, mountain, ocean ......... even an entire planet
or galaxy. It can contract into the smallest size or expand into the
largest. But he clarified that one is always conscious of being the
spirit. In other words, while experiencing being an ocean you are
always conscious that you are still a spirit. Thus from a ocean you
can easily become an entire galaxy, but at all times ever conscious
of being a spirit. This consciousness of being spirit is always
there.

v) so what is the spirit form at all times? What are you when you
walk or sit? Arwinder said being the spirit and walking is like
experiencing the wind. He said as a human it is really difficult to
explain/understand this experience as there is nothing similar to it.
The wind is the best he can come up with as the form of spirit is not
solid.”

The key is understanding that"spirit can experience anything it
desires - an insect, tree, animal, human being, mountain, ocean.” In
other words, the spirit can take birth as a human again ...........
either as male or female. The spirit can also experience itself as an
insect, tree, mountain, ocean or anything it wishes. The sexual nature
of spirit, a question of our base nature and ignorance, never arises.

The Spirit is in fact omniscient (all knowing), omnipresent (present
in all locations simultaneously), and omnipotent (all powerful). It
is pure consciousness. What then is the sex of pure consciousness?

But what is meant by"spirit"? What is its essential nature? Is the
human spirit (drop) any different from the Spirit that is God (Ocean)?

According to Deepak Chopra"Your essential being is the source of all
being—the field of pure consciousness that manifests as the entire
universe. In this very moment, pure consciousness illuminates and
animates your mind and body, and it is powerful, invincible,
unbounded, and free. When you know yourself as this field of
consciousness, you have power to manifest your desires, you have
freedom from fear and limitations, and you live in grace, which is
that state of consciousness where things flow and your desires are
easily fulfilled.

Joy and sorrow, happiness and suffering, are the play of opposites;
they are transient because they are time-bound. Spirit, the essential
you, is independent of the play of opposites: it dwells in the silent
bliss of the eternal. That's why the key to happiness is to identify
with the unchanging essence of your inner self—to live and play in
the field of intelligence that is beyond positive and negative. This
field is your source, and it is magical, holy, joyful and free...

Happiness and sadness are different faces of infinite consciousness.
Both are transient, and you are neither because you are not a state
of consciousness. You are consciousness itself expressing all of
these states. Why would want to identify with a wave on the ocean or
a mere drop of water when you are the ocean? You are not the ever-
changing behaviour of the ocean. You are the water-i-ness of the
ocean. And this water-i-ness doesn't change.

Vedanta declares," Know that one thing by knowing which everything
else is known.”For one who knows the Self, the limitations of the
world disappears.” (Deepak Chopra: Power, Freedom, and Grace: Living
from the Source of Lasting Happiness)

"The essential you, your real essence, is a field of awareness that
interacts with its own self and then becomes both mind and body. In
other words, you are consciousness or spirit, which then conceives,
constructs, governs, and becomes the mind and the body. The real you
is inseparable from the patterns of intelligence that permeate every
fiber of creation.

At the deepest level of existence, you are Being, and you are nowhere
and everywhere at the same time. There is no other"you"than the
entire cosmos. The cosmic mind creates the physical universe, and the
personal mind experiences the physical universe. But in truth, the
cosmic mind and the personal mind are both permeated by infinite
consciousness. Infinite consciousness is our source, and all
manifestation is inherent within it...

At first this may sound strange and abstract, but as you bear with
this notion and understand it, you realize the most dramatic
discovery: The real you is nonmaterial and therefore not subject to
the limitations of space, time, matter, and causation. The soul, the
spirit, the essential you, is beyond all that. In this very moment,
you are surrounded by a pure consciousness. Pure consciousness
illuminates and animates your mind and body, and it is powerful,
nourishing, invincible, unbounded, and free. Pure consciousness, the
eternal spirit, animates everything in existence, which means it is
omniscient (all knowing), omnipresent (present in all locations
simultaneously), and omnipotent (all powerful).” (Deepak Chopra:
Power, Freedom and Grace, pages 13-22)

Both the Divine Mother and Deepak Chopra declare that the spirit can
assume/experience anything it wishes. The Divine Mother's
incarnation, Shri Mataji, is basically telling the same thing:

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

“And when you die what happens to you is a very simple thing — that
you feel liberated, absolutely, and then you feel your freedom,
completely, and you can decide what to do. It's all under your own
guidance, your own desires, everything works out. You don't feel that
you have come out of your body and this is what (I) should tell you:
that there should be no fear of death but on the contrary should be
welcomed because you will feel much more liberated, much more at
ease.”

"But you know that you have eternal life. You can never die. Death is
not this body disappearing. Death is where you are absolutely without
any control of your soul. Once you are a Realized soul you have all
the control, all the powers to take your soul wherever you feel like —
to be born if you like, if you don't want you will not be born. To be
born with the people, in the families, in the communities, wherever
you like.”

The Messiah-Paraclete-Ruh-Devi
To Achieve Complete Freedom, Cabella, Italy — May 7, 1995
But we can only truly experience the spirit after death. So what does
Shri Rama teach about human Spirit? What does our Divine Mother teach
us on this topic? What do the Holy Scriptures teach about it? i have
realized that Deepak Chopra, by virtue of his academic background and
grasp of religious texts, gives the best answers in his book"Life
After Death: The Burden Of Proof.” i bought this book at the Montreal
Airport on the way to India. It is such a fabulous and priceless book
that i cannot even go beyond the various praises and introduction to
Chapter One.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. In India death is perceived very differently than in
the West," as a brief stopping point on an endless soul journey,"
says Chopra in this introduction to life beyond bodily existence.
Chopra, a medical doctor and world leader in mind-body medicine as
well as author of more than 45 books, now ventures to answer: what
happens after we die? For Chopra, death deserves to be called
miraculous, a"doorway to a far more important event—the beginning of
the afterlife"And a mode of being that"can be as creative as
living.”Chopra effectively uses the classic Vedanta story of Savitri—
a woman who comes home to find death, Lord Yama, waiting to take her
husband, and who seeks the monk Ramana's advice to outwit death—to
frame each chapter. Chopra grounds each topic in the long arc of this
singular story, which is the perfect springboard for Chopra to
introduce concepts such as Akasha (the highest stage a soul can
attain) and Eternity within the Indian tradition (where we are beyond
death, life, maleness, femaleness, and the experience of time).
Chopra presents a fascinating account of life after death for
Westerners that will certainly please his avid fans and draw in new
readers as well.

"By marrying science and wisdom in Life After Death, Chopra builds
his case for an afterlife in which our most essential self, the seer
that observes our experiences in this temporary home that we call the
self, uses the end of this lifetime to pass over into the next. This
is an intellectual and spiritual tour de force.”—Professor Robert
Thurman, Columbia University, author of Infinite Life and The Tibetan
